Compatability with Windows 7

Post by fcam1387 »

Anyone know whether I'll be able to run this game smoothly if I decide to upgrade from Vista?

Windows 7 uses the same core as Vista, It's basically Vista as it should have been 3 years ago...

If it runs on Vista, it will run on 7...

I've been running the game (it's a game right???) on windows 7 RTM for the last month or so. The only problem I've been experiencing, is that the Jap AI is winning. I might go back to win98.

How'd you guys get Windows 7? It isn't available to us mere mortals until Oct 22. I guess I just answered my own question.

Did we Brits get something before you Yanks[:D] I'm using an upgrade version from Vista and it took me approx 90 mins to upgrade my laptop. I did so with trepidation I might add but it is a work machine so I proceeded as all my data is backed up. Nothing, absolutly nothing went wrong. IT WORKS!

It improves the UAC feature. That alone makes it better than Vista. [:D]

Tried it, the game crashes when you turn satelite view on and combat animations are to be displayed.
